Abstract
Pancreatic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumours. with a histogenesis not y et completely understood. Predominantly the cystic aspect of this lesion ca n complicate the differentiation from other neoplastic and non-neoplastic c ystic tumours of the pancreas. We present a case of a middle-aged woman wit h a lymphangioma involving the duodenal wall and the pancreatic head. With special regard to MR imaging findings differential diagnosis is discussed.
